At 7:58 a.m. police responded to the NJC baseball field, Verde Ave. and Pioneer Rd., for a building that was broken into the previous night. Police were informed someone broke into the umpire and coach's offices. The last time someone was in the office was Wednesday, May 11, around noon. It was discovered the building was broken into sometime around 7:30 a.m. May 13. The following was stolen: A Verizon Jetpack Mifi device, valued at $100; three brand new packs of baseball socks, valued at $400; and a Sterling Xpress team baseball hat, valued at $25. Police were also notified of two square holes that were cut into the drywall. One of the holes was on the ceiling, the other was on the east wall of the coach's office. It appeared the suspect entered the building through the umpire office, and then cut a hole in the wall in order to open the door to the coach's office. It was estimated it would cost approximately $200 to repair the drywall. It is unknown why the suspect cut a hole in the ceiling, unless they were initially trying to gain entry into the coach's office through the ceiling. The coach's office had all kinds of things strewn about, clothes on the floor and boxes open and out of place. It was apparent the suspect had ransacked the office. The umpire's office appeared untouched besides the hole in the drywall. Also connected to these two offices is a garage area; the suspect entered the garage and rummaged through it. Nothing was missing from the garage or umpire's office.
